The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth returns again. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.
When a vicious band of half-men, half beasts invade the Two Rivers seeking their master’s enemy, Moiraine persuades Rand al’Thor and his friends to leave their home and enter a larger unimaginable world filled with dangers waiting in the shadows and in the light.
Since its debut in 1990, The Wheel of Time® has captivated millions of readers around the globe with its scope, originality, and compelling characters. The last six books in series were all instant #1 New York Times bestsellers, and The Eye of the World was named one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.

"Everything that's great about this series (wonderful characters, interesting world-building) and everything that's annoying (the arbitrary withholding of information to build suspense, the ambiguous ending) are all here from the start. It's a long and bumpy road, but it's worth it so get started."
— Chris (4 out of 5 stars)
“The Wheel of Time [is] rapidly becoming the definitive American fantasy saga. It is a fantasy tale seldom equaled and still less often surpassed in English.”
— Chicago SunTimes“This richly detailed fantasy presents fully realized, complex adventure. Recommended.”
— Library Journal" This is the 3rd time I've listened to the WoT series in it's entirety. Always a great read. "
— KH, 1/21/2022" Robert Jordan's breakout Fantasy story. Exceptional characters, unique plots, lots of action. Jordan brings the story to life with his flair for detailed story telling, believable dialogue, and fast paced story. Great story to read, even better with the dual voiced narration. "
— Paleoe, 10/21/2021" This series is not for the weak mind. Those with low concentration will not enjoy reading this Epic tail of love and unwelcome power. However the audio book is easier to enjoy for all. This series is far removed from other fantasy works and does Not compare well with Tolken,Donaldson or Brooks. "
— Deepthought, 5/24/2020" Not bad. Robert Jordan tends to go into too much details at points making sections drag on "
— Kathy, 2/17/2014" Horrific. Complete and painfully obvious rip off of Tolkien. Poorly written. Almost no character development. Makes an intelligent reader want to gouge her eyes out. "
— Gwendolyn, 2/12/2014" i have started to read this a couple of times but put it down, now iam almost finished it and totally engrossed! its a pity it took quite a few chapters to get my interest to grow, looking forward to the next book in this series, now on the third book of this series and really enjoying it. "
— Andrea, 2/10/2014" This entire series is out of control. I read the first 7 or 8 in high school and can't bring myself to finish. Too much boring detail! "
— Tom, 1/31/2014" Excellent book. Intriguing story line and memorable characters. It makes you want to see what happens next. "
— Clyde, 1/30/2014" One of the best fantasy ever. This one sucks you in fast. One of those books you can read in a weekend. "
— Emma, 1/30/2014" An excellent introduction to the fantastic world that Robert Jordan created. I can't wait to reread the rest of the series. "
— Rik, 1/30/2014" Great story and great characters - action, tension, a worthy hero, mystery, and evil villains. Looking forward to the rest of the series "
— Terry, 1/24/2014" I liked the 1st book. It was fun, riveting, and I wanted to continue the story. Got slow after the 3rd or 4th book. "
— Kym, 1/20/2014" if you have read lord of the rings you will find that you already know this book. "
— Akohlsmith, 1/7/2014" It seems to early for me to tell. Knowing there is 13 more books at least, I feel the characters and story is interesting enough to keep going but it is not really propelling me forward as other stories have. I will keep reading to see what happens. "
— Erin, 1/5/2014" This is an interesting book; just be warned, you should be prepared for an incredibly long story arc if you mean to get into this series. "
— Matt, 12/24/2013" Moved a little slower than I had hoped, and there was a lot of environment description but, it was interesting and engaging enough to make me want to start the next in the series. "
— Darryl, 12/15/2013" Started off a little slow, but it set up a series that should be amazing. "
— Gregory, 12/13/2013" Great start to a wonderful series! It is a must-read for fantasy lovers. "
— Zach, 12/8/2013" Very good read. Looking forward to many happy hours reading the other books in this series. "
— Scott, 10/11/2013" Excellent fantasy series! Ran through the first 6 books without any break! "
— Laura, 4/14/2013" An epic tale if there ever was one. Decent story, but Jordan's writing is just too verbose at times. "
— Serge, 4/1/2013" too much like LOTR; and could not stick with it "
— Rhonda, 3/28/2013" Made the mistake of listening to it on Book-on-tape. Fantasy novels sound ridiculous when read out loud. Not a bad story by the end though. "
— Zachariah, 1/28/2013" Blij dat ik aan deze reeks begonnen ben. Spannend en veel humor. "
— Edelhart, 10/24/2012" Finally finished...too many allusions to the Lord of the Rings and many lenghty passages. Well, I'll probably won't continue that story so soon. "
— Marta, 8/22/2012" Pretty long, but very well written. I true fantasy tale I'd recommend to anyone. It makes me think of the Lord of the Rings series. "
— Kevin, 5/17/2012" Gripping!! A book that is so easy for me to get lost in. "
— Hannah, 1/9/2012" One of the most overrated books/series of all times. <br/>i found it derivative, predictable, not worth pursuing. "
— Joelgeez, 5/17/2011" I am a WOT fanatic. What else is there to say? "
— Mandy, 5/15/2011" First ever fantasy book I ever read and I'm still hooked :) "
— Willeke, 5/12/2011" I enjoyed this book, read it years ago and just re-read it recently. "
— Johnny, 5/5/2011" Really enjoying it so much "
— Sarah, 5/5/2011" An excellent epoch fantasy world with rich characters and a complex world! "
— Tony, 5/4/2011" Starts off a little slow, then gains momentum until your completely involved with the deep characters and rich setting. I thought to myself, "Dang, now I have to read the whole series." "
— Wayne, 5/3/2011" I was somewhat surprised at how well I liked this. A lot of fantasy fiction is not worth reading but I did enjoy this one. "
